Halloween, Part 2!!

So Saturday night we got all dressed up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa McAlister's house. Well, except Syd. You can't really sit in a car in that clown suit. Or anywhere else, for that matter. :D So we dressed her once we got there. Then we did some token Trick-or-Treating at some of her neighbors with the cute little Wright girls...both dressed as little tiny U of U Cheerleaders. Grandma took some pictures and gave our kids each a fun Halloween doughnut to go with their soda and candy bar. They gave us a cute little witch doorknob hanger...She always finds the cutest things!...along with some bags of Hershey's Bliss Mint Chocolates. Mmm...Yum! Tastes like Christmas in your mouth! Then we bid them all farewell (after "de-clowning" Syd!) and piled back in the car. Normally, this is where we head off to Grandma Crabb's house, but she had the nerve to go to Disneyworld! Rude. :D (I'm just jealous they wouldn't shove me in a suitcase and take me along!) On the way to our house, Sydney called her friend Ryan, and we went and picked her up...She wanted to Trick-or-Treat with us!

From left to right, Syd's friend Ryan, Syd (The Fat Clown!), Spencer (IronMan!), Michael (A Dragon...From "How to Train Your Dragon"), Megan (Astrid...From How to Train Your Dragon), and Tory (A Motocross Racer).

I gathered my ipod (My favorite toy EVER!), put on my coat, and we headed out into the rain. We were out for about 1 1/2 hours, until we were too far from home and kids (and maybe mom, too!) had to go to the bathroom. So we called dad, who we'd left at home to pass out candy (to the 20 kids who came while we were gone!), and he came to rescue us and return us to the warm, dry house...with a toilet!

We were all starving, so we ordered chinese! Then we headed to bed. All in all, a great time. Even with the rain. It's fun having kids who are old enough to manage the walking! :D
